Flu and News bites

It's pretty rare that it happens, but this year was my turn to get hit with the nasty strain of flu virus. Normally, I feel bad for a day and then it's back on my feet after a dose of Airborne and early bedtime. Not this time! With a triple digit fever that dragged on for 8 days and the lovely voice of Tom Waits, I finally went to the doctor and had some blood work done. Fortunately, there was no secondary infection, just a very low white blood cell count indicating a viral infection. So, upon doctor's orders, I had to stay home and miss two of my Bravery promotions at the Vagina Monologues at ASU Polytech and CGCC this weekend. Actually, I had to cancel all my appointments for the past week and a half, and to those of you who were expecting me, I do apologize. The good news is that the fever hasn't returned and the cough is slowly going away and I will be back among the living next week. Appointments are really picking up for the project, so it's time to get the wheels rolling again.

I am always looking to improve the blog, so I've added a news feature that gets updated in real time. This is quite interesting because there are two topics: domestic violence and art updates. These are news stories from across the nation and around the world. If you are interested in learning about latest stats on domestic violence of changes in the law, the articles will pull the latest information. If you want to know what is going in the art world, click on the word "art" and read the newest updates in the art industry. This news feature brings updates everyday, so if you are interested, visit the blog frequently.

I have also added some movies that might be of interest. Tim and I enjoy movies that are unusual and thought provoking, so I will keep an updated link list to share.

I am welcome to suggestions on making this blog useful, so feel free to offer feedback on what you would like to see here.
